THE FAILURE OF SUCCESS: THE SINGAPORE STORY
Singapore was once hailed as the miracle of Southeast Asia — a city-state that rose from nothing through sheer will, vision, and balance. But today, that balance is broken. Civil servants have replaced statesmen. Control has replaced conversation. And the same system that once ensured survival now suffocates its own people.
In this bold and necessary book, Kannappan Chettiar exposes the uncomfortable that success, if left unchecked, breeds arrogance. From POFMA’s gag laws to the quiet corruption of moral justice, from housing myths to a bloated elite disconnected from ground realities — Singapore’s story is no longer one of excellence, but of erosion.
When a nation built on discipline forgets how to listen.
